Introduction to Open Workbench

Open Workbench is an application for project scheduling and management. It conforms to and supports the underlying ideas of project management while presenting information in an intuitive and easy to learn format.

Using Open Workbench, you can create projects, populate them with tasks, create dependencies on tasks that are internal or external to the project, and assign resources. You can also import data, such as tasks, from other projects. You can display project data in a variety of ways, including in spreadsheet views that include Gantt charts and in Critical Path Method (CPM) Network views. Open Workbench provides standard views that you can use as is or modify to meet your needs.

Additionally, Open Workbench allows you to save and share projects when Open Workbench is connected to CA Clarity Project & Portfolio Manager (CA Clarity PPM).
